Good Friday

On Good Friday the Faith First families are invited to attend the Stations of the Cross. You can do this special activity before attending:

Option# 3:Paper Prayer Chain

Before attending the Stations of the Cross on Good Friday, we are inviting you to create a prayer chain. On separate strips of paper please write your name, prayer intentions, or sins that weigh you down. On Good Friday, place the chain next to a crucifix at home as way to remember that Jesus loves you so much that he died for our sins.

When you are finished making one send us a picture

Option# 4: Easter Candle -Holy Saturday

On Saturday night, we celebrate the Easter Vigil and light the Easter candle also known as the Paschal Candle. You are invited to create your own Easter candle either by using paper or by modifying a candle you already have at home. When you complete your Easter Candle, send us a photo.
